JONES refers to World War II as an imperialist

reaction's drive on civil liberties, under the guise of war
emergencies, can this new threat to the ultimate freedom of
the colonial peoples be met. Only the abolition of
inperlalism, of the whole system of the wat makers, will
guarantee peace and security for the peoples."
